Petar Malesev and Sheldon Car
penter are more than just high jump
ers on the Nebraska track and field
team. . „ ..
“I feel we have a partnership, said
Malesev, a junior from Novi Sad,
Yugoslavia.
And that partnership has climbed
to new heights.
Malesev and Carpenter have al
ready provisionally qualified for the
NCAA indoor championship meet in
March. Malesev jumped 7-3 1 /4 at the
Nebraska Open last Saturday, while
Carpenter went 7-3 at the Nebraska
Wesleyan indoor meet on Jan. 16, to
qualify.
Despite those marks, Malesev said
he wouldn’t relax until he reached the
NCAA’s automatic qualifying mark
of 7-4 1/2. Malesev and Carpenter
will haveachancetobettertheirmarks
when the Nebraska track and field
team travels to Oklahoma City for the
Sooner Indoor meet.
“There is no pressure taken off,”
Malesev said. “I think I can even go
higher.”
Carpenter said he was pleased with

“It’s a shame that only one of us can
wrestle,” he said. “But we’ll see some
time later on this week.”

meets, Ware has won every match but

his provisional qualifying mark and
new personal best. His previous best
was 7-2 in high school.
“It definitely takes some pressure
off,” said Carpenter, a sophomore from
Prairie Village, Kan. “It’s pretty frus
trating having the same (personal
record) for a year and a half.”
Malesev said he knew how Car
penter felt. Malesev hit his personal
Ware came on against Fried, who
hadn’t been taken down all season.
That is, until he faced Ware last
Saturday.
Ware stuck with Fried all three
periods, scoring two takedowns, be
fore losing 12-9.
Although he lost, Ware said, the
experience was a good one.
“I walked out there and didn’t have
a strategy,” he said. “I just kept up
with him.
“It felt good to be that close to the
top. It felt good to go and wrestle the
top wrestler in the nation.”
At the beginning of the season,
Ware said, he wasn’t even close to the
top.
“First semester, I didn’t look very
good.” Ware said. “I’m proud of how

offense or the whole defense.
“He just has to do his job. We’ve
got a lot of other quality players.”
The Huskers’ shooting slump won’t
be fixed by changes in the offense, Nee
said. Instead, they will just have to
play through it.
“We want to run the fast break and
shoot threes,” he said.
IfNebraska stopped shooting three
pointers, Nee said *‘it would be like a
doctor who’s a surgeon who stops
doing surgery because he had a patient
die.
“It’s like playing football without a
football.”

at the European Junior Champion
ships in Greece.
“Since I came to Nebraska, I
haven’t got a personal record,”
Malesev said. “It’s time for me to get
a personal record now.”
Malesev said his ultimate goal was
to reach his full potential.
“I want to go 7-foot, 6 1/2 inches,”
Malesev said. “I think I can do that
later in the season. But for now, I just
want to be the best I can be.”
Carpenter said he also had some
higher goals.
“I want to be an All-American
either in indoor or outdoor,” he said.
“And I want to be in the top two at Big
Eights.”
The two said they would do any
thing they could to help each other
reach their goals.
“You try to help,” Malesev said.
“In practice, we compete and really
push each other.”
But despite their teamwork, they
said, it’s all individual business once
the competition begins.
“We want each other to do well, but
there’s a rivalry there too,” Carpenter
said.
I m wrestling now.
Ware came to Nebraska with some
impressive credentials. He was a four
time Kansas state champion at Ar
kansas City High School, and he was
the 1992 National High School Cham
pion. His career record was 120-2.
But Ware’s first year at Nebraska
was a slow one. He was a redshirt last
year, but he competed in the open
tournaments and finished the year
with a 20-2 record. He said he benefit
ed from watching last year’s team
which finished third at the NCAA
Championships.
“It was a good year for the team,
and it was nice being a part of that,” he
said.
